We stayed at the Hale Oma'o cottage in April 2003. We had a wonderful time. The cottage is so comfy and lovely. We enjoyed our stay there very much. The breakfast was so tasteful and filling. We definitely will come back some time. Joan, thank you so much for sending me back my make-up stuff that I left in the cottage. You are awesome!

Aloha, Joan! We just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay. Your warm hospitality and great breakfasts were much appreciated.

Dear Joan, I will always remember the visit on Hawaii. And one of the reasons was the pleasant stay at your bed and breakfast. To have an extended breakfast with other guests was extremely pleasant. If I will visit Hawaii in the future I will certainly stay at the Country Goose! With my best wishes

Bravo! Sito Web davvero bello ed invitante! Verrò da voi per le mie vacanze!!! Ciao.

Thank you Joan for a wonderful stay. We can't say enough about The Country Goose and Joan. 'Hale Iki' was a rainforest hideaway with all the modern conveniences and more. Joan's attention to details was amazing. We enjoyed our breakfast immensely. My favorite was the homemade whipped cream; my husband's was the pineapple crepe. We enjoyed our chat with Joan during breakfast—she points out places of interest, as well as insights to living in Hawaii. Joan made us feel welcomed and at home. We've stayed at another B&B in Volcano Village in the past, and Country Goose is the definite winner! We can't wait to go back again!!!

My wife and I stayed at Hale Oma'o during our honeymoon last year, and we truly enjoyed our stay! The breakfast was also great!

Hi Joan, have arrived back in the UK and just had to thank you for the wonderful welcome you gave us in January 2004. Your hospitality was the best, and your breakfasts that could have gone on for two hours with the gorgeous home cooking could not be beaten. I'm sure you'll see Mark and Carol in the near future, and we will be back next year for sure!

We stayed at the Pukeawe Cottage a couple of weeks ago. I just wanted to thank you again for your hospitality. The place was terrific, as were your breakfasts and recommendations for sights to visit. We would recommend you to anyone who is going to the Big Island. Thanks again!

As newlyweds in May 2003, my husband and I couldn't have imagined a more peaceful or romantic honeymoon cottage than Hali Iki. We loved Hawaii so much that we are saving to fulfill our dream of living on the Big Island some day! Thanks you so much for the wonderful breakfasts and conversation. You are such a kind woman, we feel lucky having met you. I hope your knee is doing better!

We will always remember the beautiful Bed and Breakfast accommodations, the excellent food, and the way you were able to draw animated breakfast discussions out of a bunch of introverts. Thanks!
